The new top-tier
Range Rover Velar SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition
punches three weight classes above the erstwhile top of the line, the Velar R-Dynamic. The R-Dynamic HSE can be had with a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 with 380 horsepower. The SVAutobiography, developed by
Special Vehicle Operations, gets the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 with 542 hp.
That output slots the Velar just under the full-sized, 557-hp
SVAutobiography Dynamic, just above the 518-hp
Autobiography Dynamic. But the Velar weighs about 350 pounds less than both of those big brothers. Therefore, when
calls the Velar SVA “the most driver-focused model in the range,” we take that mean the sportiest vehicle Land Rover makes, period. The Velar SVA matches the 0-60 time for the 575-hp
SVR, and should outrun it once the road turns. The Velar hits the wall at 170 mph, six miles per hour short of the Sport SVR, but high-speed stability could improve slightly thanks to an undertray placed below the transmission tunnel.
There’ll be a lot of fun beneath that speed, though. The Velar SVA gets retuned software for the steering, eight-speed transmission, dampers, locking rear differential, and AWD system. A firmer air suspension joins new hardware like upgraded, two-piece brakes with red calipers, and a tougher transfer case for when owners want to get the 21-inch forged aluminum wheels dirty. Those rims only weigh as much as the standard Velars’ 20-inchers, and can be upgraded to 22-inch diamond-turned wheels in Silver Sparkle. An active exhaust makes the right noises when necessary.
Exterior designers redrew a new grille and front bumper with larger air intakes, and reshaped the side sills. The blacked-out rear bumper houses four vertically oriented exhaust finishers. Instead of the 10 colors normally available, the Velar SVA makes do with a six-color exterior palette. Five of those are standard, the sixth is an SVO special, Satin Byron Blue. All models are fitted with a Narvik Black roof, and a knurled finish on the
lettering front and back rounds out the detailing.
The cabin welcomes unique, quilted and perforated Windsor leather with twin stitching in either Ebony,
, Vintage Tan or Pimento, with 20-way, climate-controlled front seats standard. Aluminum paddles hide behind a sports steering wheel with a new contour, and the knurled dials on the center console and the digital Touch Prp Duo screen match the exterior lettering.
Range Rover hasn’t put a price to the U.S. version yet, but know this: Range Rover won’t limit production, but will only sell the Velar SVA for one year.
